Ger RAILWAY F4cIATiE: The ac.
cumulatons of freight at the various
terminal and adjoining stations along
the Utah & Northern aud Oregon
Short Line railways are steadily in
creasing. During last December,
January and February the severity
of the weather aud the unusually
heavy fall of snow supplied a ready
excuse for this; but during the past
month the delayed freight along the
lines named has increased to such an
extent that it is now exceedingly
difficult to move trains at ALL Last
Sunday, at Glenn's Ferry, for instance,
the east bound passenger, mail and
express train was delayed 20 minutes
while the freight oars were being got
out of the way. All the switches and
side-track were covered, the cars be-
ing jammed as close together as pos
sible, and the tail end of one of the
trains had to be pushed on the main
track to permit the express train tc
reach the depot. Nor is this an un-
usual occurrence, either.
The fact is that the railway bust
ness on this side of the Rocky Noun
tains is increasing so rapidly that the
railway companies cannot procure the
rolling stock to handle it. The con.
sequence is that vexatious delays oc-
cur, the train crews are compelled t.
crowd II to two days work into one,
and the patrons of the roads are very
poorly served.
This will probably continue unit
another road or two shall tap this in.
ter-mountain region, and give US an.
other outlet cast and vest HALEY

A Cold Ducking.
Bellevue Herald.

The mere mention in SATURDAYS
Herald of the fact that Rev. J. B.
Foster would administer the ordi-
nance of baptism according to the
rules OF the Baptist Church, Sunday,
created the desire among MANY to
witness the ceremony, some from Gu.
riosity and some from religious be-
lief. Immediately after the regular
services at the church an adjourn
ment was taken to the river, and a
large crowd followed from town. The
parties who were to receive the i'm
mersion were Edward Bellnger and
his two daughters, Hattie May
and Eta. The day was a pleasant
one, but the sight of the cold waters
was sufficient to make warm wraps
comfortable for the spectators. The
song, "Gather at the River" was first
given, then short prayer, when Mr..
Bellingcr, who was dressed in every
day, but warm, clothing, took off his
hat and coat, had a handkerchief tied
about his head, and led by Rev. Fos-
ter, the march was taken to the mid
die of the river, about waist deep,
and when the convert clasped his
hands, the preacher said: 81 baptise
you in the name OF the Father, the
Son and the Holy Ghost" and souse
went the subject beneath the water
He was led to the shore, when the ell.
der of the daughters was next led tc
the middle of the stream, when the
same performance was had. Ther
came the little girl, about twelve
years old, who marched as boldly ou
as the other two, and the three were
assisted to the carriage and driver
| home.
This is the first baptism in WooC
River according to the belief OF th,
Baptist Church.

J. S. MCouADF, who has been the
principal of the public school of this
place about two years, left last Sat
urda7 for Boise City. He thinks of
going on a book -canvassing tour
through Ada and Alturas counties.
He has also taken the agency for the
World, and will receip for cash on
subscriptions. Mr.. McQuade is a
thorough scholar, and as teacher has
but few equals in Idaho, and this
place parted with his services in the
school-room with regrets. School
will run but a few months this season,
and Nc. came to the conclusion that
it would not pay him to stay, and
that he could do better by entering
pastures new. He does not know
what vocation he will follow or where
he will make his home after canvas
sing the counties mentioned; but il
he does not enter the legal profession,
which he is already prepared to dc
hv an extensive course OF study in
legal lore, he will no doubt re-enteI
the higher profession of assisting
Young ideas in ascending the heights
of knowledge. We wish Nc. success
in whatever profession he may enter

transportation by car line, convenience
to stores, schools, churches, doctors and
